To Pixar and Beyond, by Lawrence Levy

“Great graphics will keep us entertained for a couple of minutes; it is story that holds us in our seats.” – John Lasseter, pg. xii

“There’s nothing you can do about where the pieces are. It’s only your next move that matters.” – pg. 49

“Sometimes there comes a point when you jump not because you feel ready or are sure that you’ll make it across the chasm, but because the conditions are forcing you off the edge.” – pg. 89

“If we are too focused on function and performance, we may wind up wondering if we ever truly lived. If, on the other hand, we are so focused on engaging our passions, we may become frustrated by lack of momentum. [It’s] a dance between order and freedom. Efficiency and artistry.” – pg. 236-244
